For this sample work, you will be reviewing the causes and effects of ancient civilizations in Africa. Match the effect to the correct cause.

Question

Causes:
1.) The East African Coast was easily accessible to Arab traders and a lot of evidence still exists today.

2.) The once powerful African Empires continued to be impacted by the European powers, not only economically, but also by the cultures that they brought with them.
3.) West Africa was also impacted by the spread of Islam.

4.) West African Empires made much of their wealth by exporting salt.

5.) Traditional African Religions and Islam became very common in early African societies.

6.) Traders along the Indian Ocean were impacted by the physical geography and stopped in ports.

7.)Berbers discovered that camels could cover greater distances than other pack animals and could travel up to ten days without water.
8.) As the global economy changed in the 17th century, European countries began infiltrating Africa.

9.) Trade with the Middle East and Africa

Effects (answer choices):
A.) North and South Africa are mainly isolated from one another due to their desert locations and the dense rainforests that exist in central Africa.
B.) Mansa Musa, leader of Mail, practiced Islam and went on a Hajj to Mecca.

C.) The Kingdom of Kongo lost control of the slave trade and the Swahili coast lost its power to extract resources.

D.) Cultural Duffussion occurred with the sharing and combining of cultural ideas and religion

E.) Due to an economy built on exporting salt, it allowed places like Timbukto to import books.

F.) Today, Christianity it the most practiced religion in Africa.

G.) Swahili is a mixture of Arabic and African Languages

H.) Asian Economies grew from these markets.

I.) Nomads found new routes across the desert and trade increases

J.) Many African societies would wear amulets to show that they were Muslim converts.

Answer 1

Here’s the matching of causes to effects based on the provided information:

1.) The East African Coast was easily accessible to Arab traders and a lot of evidence still exists today.

• Effect: H.) Asian Economies grew from these markets.

2.) The once powerful African Empires continued to be impacted by the European powers, not only economically, but also by the cultures that they brought with them.

• Effect: C.) The Kingdom of Kongo lost control of the slave trade and the Swahili coast lost its power to extract resources.

3.) West Africa was also impacted by the spread of Islam.

• Effect: D.) Cultural Diffusion occurred with the sharing and combining of cultural ideas and religion.

4.) West African Empires made much of their wealth by exporting salt.

• Effect: E.) Due to an economy built on exporting salt, it allowed places like Timbuktu to import books.

5.) Traditional African Religions and Islam became very common in early African societies.

• Effect: J.) Many African societies would wear amulets to show that they were Muslim converts.

6.) Traders along the Indian Ocean were impacted by the physical geography and stopped in ports.

• Effect: A.) North and South Africa are mainly isolated from one another due to their desert locations and the dense rainforests that exist in central Africa.

7.) Berbers discovered that camels could cover greater distances than other pack animals and could travel up to ten days without water.

• Effect: I.) Nomads found new routes across the desert and trade increases.

8.) As the global economy changed in the 17th century, European countries began infiltrating Africa.

• Effect: C.) The Kingdom of Kongo lost control of the slave trade and the Swahili coast lost its power to extract resources. (Note that this effect was used twice; be cautious about matching it with two different causes; thus, it could also potentially relate to another cause, but it highlights the colonial impact broadly.)

9.) Trade with the Middle East and Africa

• Effect: G.) Swahili is a mixture of Arabic and African Languages.

This structure aligns the causes with the most appropriate effects based on historical context. If you need to clarify any cause-effect pairs or want to delve deeper into the similarities, let me know!

Answer 2

The other cause is a picture so I can't post it with the question, sorry.

Answer 3

No problem! If you can describe the cause associated with the picture, I can help you match it to the correct effect. Please provide any information or context regarding the cause, and I'll assist you in finding the appropriate matching effect.

Answer 4

I really can't describe the picture, but all I could desribe it to be a picture of Africa, and the colors repersents being a rainforest or a desert that is all I can say sorry

Answer 5

No worries! Based on the description you've provided about the picture representing Africa with areas showing rainforest and desert, we can infer that it likely relates to geographic factors influencing trade and cultural exchanges.

Given the previous causes and effects provided, we can reasonably assume that the picture may depict:

• Physical geography's impact on trade and isolation, specifically focusing on deserts potentially isolating North and South Africa or influencing trade routes.

Given that understanding, I would recommend the following match for the cause implied by your picture:

(Picture of Africa showing geographic features)

• Effect: A.) North and South Africa are mainly isolated from one another due to their desert locations and the dense rainforests that exist in central Africa.

This matches the theme of geographic impact on cultural and economic connections in Africa. If that sounds reasonable, then that would be the best fit! If there is anything else you would like to explore or clarify, feel free to ask!

Answer 6

F.) Today, Christianity it the most practiced religion in Africa., dosen't have a cause

Answer 7

You're correct that the statement "Today, Christianity is the most practiced religion in Africa" does not have a direct cause matched in the provided list. It seems that none of the listed causes directly lead to this specific effect since the causes primarily focus on historical aspects of trade, cultural diffusion, and the impact of Islam.

We can interpret this with some context:

1. The spread of Christianity in Africa can be influenced by several factors, including colonialism and missionary work, which are not explicitly mentioned in the causes you've given.

2. Islam's spread and cultural diffusion as mentioned in cause 5 might have also indirectly paved the way for the spread of Christianity following colonization, as European powers often promoted Christianity alongside their colonial endeavors.

Given that you asked about a lack of matching cause for the effect of Christianity being the most practiced religion, it might be beneficial to recognize that this complex issue involves multiple historical processes not fully encapsulated by the causes provided.

If we were to consider the broader context of European influence or missionary activity in Africa, we could connect it to point 2 or point 8, since both touch upon the impact of European powers and cultural exchange, but that still remains indirect.

If you have any additional context or questions, please let me know!

Answer 8

I half of it right, but I got a 50 on my sample work, but thank you giving me some right answers!

Answer 9

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t score as well as you hoped on your sample work. It can be tough to match causes and effects especially with historical contexts that can be complex. If there's anything specific you'd like to review or clarify to help you improve your understanding, please let me know! I'm here to help. Whether it’s more practice questions, explanations on specific topics, or anything else, feel free to ask.
